Randel Royce "Randy" Graham

Randel Royce "Randy" Graham, age 61, passed away on Saturday, June 28, 2025. He was born on September 7, 1963, in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, to Vernon and Gwen Graham. A lifelong resident of Ravia, Oklahoma, Randy was known for his fun-loving personality, and deep roots in the community.
Randy graduated from Tishomingo High School in 1981 and proudly served in the United States Coast Guard, stationed in St. Louis, Missouri. He spent his career as a cement contractor, a trade he took pride in and truly enjoyed.
Randy was a people person who never met a stranger. He loved spending time with his family and many friends. His favorite pastimes included fishing, riding horses, camping, and sitting under a shade tree with the "old fellers," reminiscing about days gone by and sharing tall tales. Known for the unique smirk on his face and his knack for storytelling, people could never quite tell if he was pulling their leg-but they always enjoyed trying to figure it out. Above all, Randy had a good heart and would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need.
Growing up, Randy was active in Boy Scouts and participated in every sport offered at Ravia School. He also enjoyed cooking and, from time to time, reading the Bible and talking about it with his friend "Ole Dodie." Several years ago, Randy gave his life to the Lord, a decision that brought him peace.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Vernon and Gwen Graham.
Those left to cherish his memory include his daughter, Brandi Kirkman of Indiana; sister, Debbie Morton and husband Wayne of Tishomingo; nephews, Braedon Graham of Edmond, Porter Graham of Tishomingo, and Brad Bevill and wife Holly of Broken Arrow; great nieces, Anna and Sydney Bevill of Broken Arrow; along with a host of cousins, extended family, and dear friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, July 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM at DeArman-Clark Funeral Home Chapel in Tishomingo, with Pastor Jon Smith officiating. Honorary pallbearers will be Randy Bevill, Bill Vandever, Marvin Yochum, Ricky Kreger, Dodie Nanney, Bubby Moore and Dalton Vandever.
